Saints vs. Seahawks

ESQUIRE: Okay, let's do this, right up front. Last year's Super Bowl champs at the Seattle Seahawks, who come into this game with a losing record. Anything interesting here?

SUZY KOLBER, ESPN: The Saints are really on a roll, and they're heating up, except for the fact that two of their best running backs are out. And that's a massive, massive concern. The biggest storyline is the Saints in the playoffs without their running game. It's the thing that made them so good last year, that not only got them to the playoffs but carried them through to the Super Bowl.

ESQ: Really though, the Seahawks. What the hell? They set the record... for being the only team to go to the playoffs with a losing record. They're nothing to be concerned about, right?

LINDSAY McCORMICK, Comcast SportsNet: They're still not even sure what quarterback they're going to start. How do you have momentum when you don't even have the same team? They barely slipped past the Rams. I don't think they stand a chance. But Pete Carroll seems like he always kind of has something up his sleeve, and he is a player's coach. This is kind of this team's Super Bowl. If they do beat the Saints, there's not really a high chance they're going to beat any of the other teams.

ESQ: Not a snowball's chance in hell.

LM: Exactly. If they win this game in front of their home crowd, it will kind of be like this team won the Super Bowl, in that they 'finished' the year with a big win at home in front of their fans.
